 Kamaal Khan made history with his very first song - O O
Jane Jaana. The song made waves and ushered in new pop
music trends.
Kamaal Khan was born in Highgate, North London and has
two brothers and two sisters. He spent most of his early
years living in Finchley, North London. He developed an
interest in music from a very early age and had amassed
a collection of over 200 Hindi film soundtracks by the
age of 12 years.
Kamaal was initially quite
hesitant to enter the music industry but after much
persuasion by his elder brother Jamal, Kamaal finally
agreed to take up a career in music. In 1995
he wrote and produced his first song "O Oh Jaane
Jaana" at Yojo Working Studios in Kensal Road,
London. The song released in 1996 becoming an instant
hit and achieved Platinum status within 2 weeks of its
release. The song also featured in the 1998 Bollywood
blockbuster "Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya"
starring Salman
Khan & Kajol.
The soundtrack went on to become a multi-million selling
album and the huge success of the movie has widely been
attributed by film pundits to the popularity of "O
Oh Jaane Jana". As a result of his successful debut
single, Kamaal was immediately signed by record label
HMV (India) in December 1997 on a 3 album deal for a
huge undisclosed sum.
Kamaal Khan went on to achieve
further success with his solo albums "Suno To
Deewana Dil" (2000) and "Kal Raat"
(2003).
Kamaal is currently working on
his 4th solo album titled Khanfusion. |
